it's an okay outfit, controlled hobo-ish.
i like her the best with short hair, and i know i'm in a minority, but i don't think that long hair suits her nicely, little below the ear? fine and cute, but as soon as it gets below her chin, i don't think it looks nice and what's weird, she always, for me, looked like she's wearing a wig whever i saw pics of her with the long hair - looking unnatural for me, i guess?

her physique has changed since those WS2 days from what i can see comparing it to how it looks now.

I really like her with long hair. Like sobriquet87 said, it really makes her look younger, and over all just like the other hair style she's had, it just really suits her. I am convinced that she can pull off any hairstyle because I've yet to see her actually look bad after changing her hair.

Here are some other long hair looks from earlier in her career.

Trial & Retribution - Sins of the Father (2006)

The Amazing Mrs. Pritchard (2006)

Doctor Who (2007)

Agatha Christie Marple: The Sittaford Mystery (2006)

I think having long hair has helped Carey in her career for some of her roles. For example, her role in An Education I think would have been differently if she'd had a shorter hairstyle. She needed to have a longer hairstyle in order to look younger and achieve the right look for her character. However, that said, I really love the pixi cut on her as well. She's lucky she has one of those faces which can pull of different hairstyles well.

No, that was her real hair in An Education. There's an interview where she says she wants her hair to be that way again. Plus, when she was doing Wall Street, Oliver was shocked she didn't have long hair and wanted her to wear a wig and she wasn't having that, so I don't think she likes wigs.

Poor Carey has said that her hair was completely ruined when Michael MAnn made her bleach it (!!!) for "Public Enemy", and then MAnn almost completely cut her out of the movie. She said hair was so damaged, she said she had so much breakage she had to cut it.

Yeah! I read about that, too, and that's why it's taking so long for it to grow out. But honestly, I think they should just stop coloring her hair all together because it's like every six months it's a new color and that just... can't be good for someones hair.
